Pentagon Report Criticizes Defense Secretary Over Security Breach

A new Pentagon report says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put U.S. troops in danger. The report states he used a personal phone to share sensitive plans for a military strike in Yemen. The Department of Defense Inspector General released the findings on Thursday. It criticizes the widespread use of unapproved messaging apps and personal devices across the military. The report does not specify when the security breach occurred. It highlights a failure to follow protocols designed to protect operational security. The findings have prompted renewed calls from some lawmakers for Secretary Hegseth to resign. The Pentagon has not yet issued an official response to the report.
